Not related to the march of Islam but nonetheless I wanted to share a wonderful example of cultural enrichment that has made it into the MSM, even into The Guardian: http://goo.gl/hKWOc

"The jury was told the belief in kindoki – the Lingala word for sorcery – was pervasive in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Expert witnesses in the trial would make clear there was 'no provision in Congolese life and culture for the maltreatment and abuse of children', Altman said. 'However, if the practice of kindoki is dislocated from the control of churches in the Congo, and the supervisory influence of religious leaders, then it may take on a feral and, indeed, evil character, as we suggest it did here.'"
Two relevant points:
1) Is this person really serious that kindoki (sorcery) - by which we can only assume to mean as the exorcism of kindoki - is fine if supervised by Congolese churches?
2) If people from the Congo need to be 'supervised' by Congolese churches to avoid feral murders of children, then we are very happy to oblige! Send them all home - to their actual spiritual home.
